prophetik music Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 didn't see a thread in here, and i made the gears 2 thread, so whatever. what do you all think? i love the campaign to pieces. the storyline is somewhat reasonable, the new locations look incredible and not just like the same big cave, and the unique enemies to the game add a lot of interest to the play-through itself. also, beast mode and horde 2.0 are pretty awesome. the new difficulty scaling in Horde 2.0 is awesome, as it means you actually have to be good to do anything. beast is hilarious because you can play as a ticker or a boomer (my two favorites). i wrote a review on hawtwired (i'm a contributing editor there) and i talk a lot about the different aspects of the game, breaking down the good and the bad. you should take a look. anyone else get it?

DjMystix Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I actually got it about 8 days early and had a blast with the campaign (took me about 18-20 hours to finish). I think it's not only the best Gears yet but also one of the best shooters out there right now. And I can't thank EPIC enough to provide 3D support because the experience was exponentially better in 3D; it's currently the absolute best 3D XBOX360 game.

Not at all! They just don't care about street dates over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I thought Gears 1 was great. Gears 2 was even better. I beat both of them uncountable times. :3 Took down RAAM on Insane with my brother-in-law. We cheered loudly when he died even though it was the middle of the night and there were people sleeping right under us. Through the floor I mean. So Gears 3 should be even better eh? I gotta wait until gamefly ships it, which could take weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta wait until gamefly ships it, which could take weeks. biggest issue with the first two games were the incredible amounts of glitches and game-breaking misfires that would happen. a good example is in the fight against Skorge (end of act four, GoW2). occasionally you'd glitch about fifteen feet above the floor, but Skorge could still saw you or grenade you as if you were on the ground. happened three times when i was trying to beat him on insane.

Brandon Strader Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I didn't have that issue with Gears 2 but I found that when I play a game for an extended period of time on the Xbox360, like for more than a few hours, it seems like assets build up in the cache and cause any number of strange and inconsistent bugs that are corrected with a system reboot.

prophetik music Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 i've never seen that issue outside of Gears 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
